Excellent equipment

Easy to install. Well recognized by Windows 10. Sufficient image quality. Efficient and sensitive microphone. Allows me to carry out medical teleconsultations during this epidemic period. The only downside is that the carrier, Chronopost, refuses to deliver to doctors' surgeries at the moment, and had returned the item to LDLc. I had to have it delivered to my home address. As usual, Chronopost is inefficient and below par. They don't deserve to have LDLc's clientele.

Incompatibility with Windows 10!!!

Despite many attempts (different drivers, different solutions gleaned here and there on the web), this webcam does not work properly under Windows 10, and the problem is recurrent since it was released. That said, this is the first time I've had this kind of problem with this brand...

        The best value for money in the entry-level range

        Webcam ideal for basic use (video conferencing, teleworking).
        Simple and intuitive to use.

        image very good

        Everything is OK, the return on my screen is of excellent quality, I use it mainly for videoconferencing, I'll have to test video acquisition on occasion.

        Very practical

        I use this camera with my laptop running Ubuntu.

        Ubuntu immediately recognises this camera and the associated microphone.

        So I can't recommend this product highly enough.

        Perfect in her role

        For office use, there's nothing to say: it positions well, remains stable, the cable length is sufficient and the image rendered is satisfactory given the technical specifications.

        The price...look elsewhere

        The camera looks very good.
        However, when I looked it up on the internet afterwards, I found that it was offered at almost half the price on a well-known generalist website! Until now, I'd trusted ldlc for prices.... Now I'm going to have a look at what the competition is offering... Twice the price!

        Very good product for the price. A quality image and a microphone that works well. Honestly, nothing to say if you're into video and you're not a kikoolol streamer, this will do the trick.

        Correct

        Detected right away under Linux Ubuntu
        I use it mainly for my business meetings.
        I criticize a lack of manual adjustment to zoom in/out the camera

        I did not test the audio capture because I use a headset + microphone

        A real surprise

        After reading the comments on this article, I had a few scares.
        Wanting absolutely a webcam in this price range, I tried it anyway.
        And frankly I am not disappointed, the quality is certainly in 720 but a very good 720p!
        The quality is much better than webcams called 1080p, 2k or even 4k.
        If you want to stream this is not necessarily the kind of product to turn to but if it remains an entry level more than interesting!
        It's only useful for professional video, so it's a good choice.
        And to finish the quality of the microphone is really very good.

        Works well.

        Very good. Easy to install. The device is discreet and can be forgotten above the screen.
        The only downside is that it does not handle backlighting well.

        Very good surprise, the microphone works very well. It's very nice to do without the headset.
        This webcam-microphone is perfect for telecommuting.

        works the first time under linux mint.

        The webcam was recognised instantly.
        The microphone is effective
        Nothing to complain about the camera
        Compact, takes up little space on top of my screen.

        Good camera, low cost

        A very good camera, considering its low price. The HD definition is more than sufficient, the image is reasonably pleasant even with fair ambient light, the microphone sound is surprisingly good and loud compared to other more expensive models. Personally, I especially appreciate the "zoomed in" aspect of the image: most of the more expensive webcams tend to encompass a fairly wide angle of vision, whereas for video you generally only want to show your head and not the whole apartment! I really like the fact that this webcam, because of its resolution, tends to cover very little of the background!

        Does its job

        Received within 4 days, in a 14400 cm3 (40x30x12cm) box to contain the 400cm3 (10x8x5cm) camera box, which is 36 times too big.
        Not cool, that! A joker could say that there is more expensive cardboard than material. :)

        Practical folding stand

        The foldable stand allows you to put it anywhere: screen, surface.
        Handy when it is placed on a screen, you just have to turn it upside down with its support, and it holds upside down (in case of webcam hacking, nobody sees).

        Not so bad

        The camera is good enough for streaming in 720p, but for videos it's not as good! Otherwise for the price it's really a good product! The design is not famous but does the job for 30€.

        My opinion

        I had a hard time getting it to work but then I was at fault because I couldn't see well in my settings but otherwise it has a good video rendering but for the audio I don't know yet but it has my headphones so I think it's good.

        For the price, it's fine.

        It took me a long time to give an opinion and so I had plenty of time to test it.

        My use is for filming and streaming live video, but the webcam recording only takes up the whole screen, so the whole thing is compressed to a size much smaller than the resolution of the live video.

        For the price, I would say that we can not really complain, the fixation is basic and offers little precision but it holds rather well, it takes however a lot of slack for the cable and not too much either because the cable is heavier than the camera that will soon not be straight, the must is a clothes peg to pinch the cable somewhere and avoid that the webcam is not straight.

        The resolution is 720p but what nobody says is that it's 30fps and the gain is just horrible! even if you try several settings with a lot of light in the back of the subject, good luck if you want to use it with a green background!
        I don't get the "Fluid Crystal" thing, I think it's probably a trick but clearly not interesting or meaningful.

        I'm not sure I'm going to be able to use it with a green background, I think it's probably a gimmick but clearly not interesting or meaningful. It is therefore necessary after an over or under exposure to hide with a finger or other the webcam to force it to refocus ... not practical.

        In short, a very messy 720p with a colour fidelity that leaves something to be desired, all in 30fps.

        But for this price, it's hard to be picky, I'm just highlighting the important points.

        Unbeatable value for money

        I bought it to chat with my parents on Skype and with friends.

        Great value for money, 30€.

        The picture is very sharp.

        It fits perfectly on my screen.

        The plus is really the plug and play which is just perfect. The length of the cable is also perfect.

        Functional

        I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use it again.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to have it in my pocket, even if it's far from the announced 720p resolution (it's closer to 480p), the sound is average and it's not the best camera on the market, but it's still good enough.
        And then for 30 euro it is correct.

        Works Out Of the Box under GNU/Linux, very good image quality and good sound when capturing from the webcam. Great for making video tutorials (I don't even need to rework the sound to remove the hiss like with my microphone or headset.

        Second purchase of this camera for another PC and as with the first:
        Works perfectly with Skype. It takes up very little space. The USB cable is long enough to place it ideally on the desk. The integrated microphone also works well. You get what you pay for.

        Purchased for skype communication with family in 720p.

        The image is sharp and correct even in low light. This product is very good value for money in my opinion.

        Very good value for money

        More than decent picture for a 20€ cam. The sound is not great but that was to be expected given the price. The installation is very simple, a USB cable, very stable on a screen with a thin edge, more delicate on the old screen with a "raised" back.

        Does its job

        I bought it for moderate use (skype or other), and it does its job very well.
        Nothing to report, the installation is intuitive, directly recognized under windows.
        It's a great tool to have on hand.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's still a great product.

        Not bad considering the price "but"!!!

        I have developed a more complete review here for those who would like to know more:
        https://pastebin.com/eG8FTRY8

        Note: No ads, promos or anything else.

        I use this webcam in its maximum resolution for streaming on twitch, distance of +/- 1 meter to 1m50 max in a +/- dark environment (evening, end of the day) in a room with light behind and on the sides, never in the angle of the camera.

        On a video in 720p or 1080p in my use, the Webcam is used as a miniature at about 1/10th of the resolution of the video, it does the job we ask it, it is relatively fluid etc.

        The Plus:
        - the price
        - the microphone
        - The advanced settings accessible
        - Efficient mounting
        - The configuration of the recording directory.
        - Ease of use
        - quality sufficient for miniature use (streaming/Skype/visio)
        - The light can be switched off/on/auto, very simple but practical.

        Minuses:
        - The quality in photo mode, resolutions too low, the 3M pixel are not very efficient.
        - The quality of the videos, live or recording if viewed in full screen or close to it.
        - A very pronounced flicker in the image.
        - No driver CD provided
        - Logitech drivers and software not very optimised, no recordable profile.
        - Cable neither too short nor too long, will have to be adapted.
        - Uneven resolution depending on the mode chosen and lower than that announced (closer to 480p than 720p)


        It is the choice of the concession of entry of range, little blur without being fluid for as much, its defects and its ergonomics are counterbalanced by a fast and accessible use for a correct price.

        It will do very well for many, especially for video conferencing, skype and streaming camera to start.


        For green backgrounds:
        Using it with a green background is quite perilous.
        Tip for a better overlay: use a light (on the floor for example) behind the chair to illuminate the green background without having the light on camera.

        Well

        This is a small Logitech camera with a great reputation.
        It works very well, I am not demanding on this point the image is correct neither more nor less, in short at this price we have an effective webcam and very easy to install.

        Very good product

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product. It works perfectly well and doesn't need any additional software to be recognized directly by Windows 10. And as usual top notch delivery by ldlc

        Geiniale

        For the price, this webcam is not bad at all, it gives a superb live image.
        The "Motion Detection" system is very useful and rare for a small webcam.
        I use it to watch what's going on outside (I fixed it, via a little DIY, on top of my window) and connected it to a PC with Windows XP via a 12 meters USB extension cable.
        Works great and the picture is super sharp.
